Cybercriminals using ChatGPT AI bot to develop malicious tools?

As ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence tool, gains in popularity, more and more nefarious use cases have started to appear online. Recently, it has been reported that cybercriminals are circumventing bot restrictions in order to develop tools for hacking and cyber fraud.

According to a report from cyber security firm Check Point Research (CPR), the cybercriminal community has already expressed strong interest in this latest trend to develop malicious code.

“Several major underground hacking communities show that there are already first instances of cybercriminals using OpenAI to develop malicious tools,” the report states adding that cybercriminals using OpenAI have no knowledge of code development. “It’s only a matter of time until more sophisticated threat actors enhance the way they use AI-based tools for bad.”
